Instructions
  1. Lightly coat the bottom of a pot with olive oil spray.
  2. Add the turkey bacon and cook until crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan and drain on a paper towel. Once the bacon has cooled, coarsely chop, and set aside.
  3. Add the onion, carrots, celery, and salt to the pot. Stir occasionally until vegetables are tender.
  4. Add potatoes, thyme, and broth to the pot. Stir and cover. Bring to a slight boil, then let simmer for about 8 minutes or until the potatoes are partly tender.
  5. Add in the zucchini, corn, and remaining salt and pepper. Continue to simmer for 8 to 10 minutes or until all vegetables are fork-tender.
  6. Transfer two cups of the soup into a blender or food processor. Puree until smooth. Stir the mixture back into the pot.
  7. Add the bacon and milk. Simmer until just heated through.
  8. Garnish with minced fresh parsley.
